I will let you on to a secret. My oldest daughter’s name is Madeleine. We loved the name but I also love one of the main associations with it: the wonderful little French pastries called Madeleines. The sensation of eating a Madeleine was immortalized by Marcel Proust in his memories, “Remembrance o ...
If anyone should be given a dessert for her birthday, it's Peabody. Her blog, Culinary Concoctions by Peabody, has inspired hundreds of others to bake sweets and bake often. Sugar, butter and cream are no strangers to her. If you don't believe me, go check out her blog! As she has mentioned in a com ...
Se prщlasser en tongs et en maillot de bains toute la journщe, au mieux d'une liquette... Aller d'une activitщ р l'autre en s'octroyant des siestes, des breaks sur la terrasse au soleil, se rщveiller naturellement, manger quand on a faim, se coucher repue d'une journщe bien remplie de pas grand chos ...
So, Ive been baking a bit. I meant to do like a proper post on the Madeleines I made but I wasnt thrilled with the results of the recipe.

Originally I was going to have a few more posts of savory food but the closing of Tastespotting king of caught me off guard (I couldn’t bring myself to post) and I’m still stunned and sadden. It was what compelled me to start food blogging. I hope somehow there will come something that can fill the ...
English version Desde o início do blog tenho experimentado vários ingredientes novos e diferentes. Nem consigo mais listá-los – é muita informação para a minha pobre memória juntar. Um dos ingredientes é a pimenta-da-jamaica. Já a vira em diversas receitas mas ela só estreou em minha cozinha semana ...
Ever since creating the blog, I have tried a huge number of new, different ingredients. I can’t even list them anymore – too many for my poor memory to gather up. One of those ingredients is allspice. I’d seen it around in several recipes but it only premiered in my kitchen last week, when I baked t ...
I had another Bake and Send! job last week. Chocolate Chip Cookies and Madeleines… I think the Madeleine’s turned out better than the chocolate chip cookies, but hopefully both were yummy for the recipient!
